I am isolated, repressed,
The band I wear reads, 'depressed',
Tailored into something worth loving,
Sculpted, molded, broken down to basics,
I have lost all sight of home,
Reconstructing my skin,
My brain suffocated, criticized,

My devils are at home here,
This place reeks of sin,
And all these strangers think I am their friend,
Because we're all severely destroyed,
But the parts of me that loved are now disfigured,
Yes ma'am I am cured,
I am patient, good and kind,
Just let me out before your treatments completely pervert my mind
